Ngā whakawai hau pūngao he mīhini e whakamahia ana kia herea te mana o te hau hei waihanga i te āporo. He nui ngā para kē o enei mīhini, ka hori i te hau. Ka hori ngā para, ka whakahokia tetahi wāhanga i roto i te whakawai pūngao, ko te rotor, kia puta ai te mana. Ka taea te mana nei ki te whakamahi mō ngā whare, ngā kura me era atu tuhituhinga. He mea tūpono tēnei — kei te whakamahi tātou i tētahi mea kāore i kitea, pērā i te hau, hei hanga i te āporo!
Kei raro i ēnei he maha ngā pai o te whakamahi 5000w kōwhatu hau . He mea nui tērā i tēnei, kāore ia i whakatupu i ngā hainuku pūngao pērā i ngā momo pūmau kotahi, pēhea ko te inu me te pū. E ahuatia ana tēnei ki te whakarite i te whenua hei tika me te haumaru mō ngā mea katoa e ora ana. Ko te hau he mea nui anō, ā, he whakahoutanga, kāore ia e kitea te wā e mutu ai. Ko tēnā i whakaae ai ngā whakaputa hau kōwhai hei tino whirinaki mō te whakapono i te hiko.
Kei roto i ngā wāhi katoa ngā whakaputa hau kōwhai. Ki te waiū, ka kitea e koe ngā marae hau nui; kei runga i ngā whare, ka āheinga rawa e koe ngā whakaputa iti. Nō ētahi whenua, pērā i te Taitokerau, he maha ngā whakaputa hau kōwhai, inā ka taea e rātau te whakaputa i te maha o ngā pūmau tika. Kei te rangirua ngā tāngata ki ngā huarahi hou kia taea e ngā whakaputa hau kōwhai te mahi ake, kia taea mai e rātau te maha rawa hei tautoko i te whakapūmau o te ao.
He mea nui noa te whakamahi i ngā kaihau hiko i te ao. Kua whakatupuia ngā rautaki hei whakaaroaro i te nui rawa o ngā hau, ā, hei whakarerekē i tēnā hiko ki te waiata. Kei roto i te kaihau hiko, he mea hanga te rotor hei whakaputa i te hiko me ngā pereki me ngā rītanga niho, he mahi i tēnei wā e kīia nei he whakamahinga elektromihana. Ka whai take tonu te hunga nei ki te pai ake i ngā kaihau hiko motuhake, hei hanga i te nui o te waiata whenua katoa.
Kaore he mea iti nā ngā kaihau hiko i te ao hoki i tēnei wā, he mea whai take nui hoki. Nō reira, ka taea te whakakapi i te hiko wehe i ngā momo hiko whenua, ā, ka taea hoki te whawhai ki te poroiti ā-whenua. Ka karangahia tātou ki tētahi atea i te mārō tonu te waiata whenua, ka kitea hoki e tātou te ao i te painga tonu o ngā hiko whenua, i te ora tonu o ngā wai, me te oranga noa iho o Papatūānuku mō ngā pepeke katoa e tae mai nei, me ngā momo hanga me ngā huarahi hou.
